An extra special Valentine

This is LOVE................................

X marks the spot

The boys love these blocks.......sorting and spelling.......putting them back in the box together and then dumping them out.  These will be one of the items the I will hang on to for them to pass down to their children.  My favorite kind of toys.  

Presence

This is of Katie and Lauren.  Sometimes these images get lost in the middle of a gallery of big blue eyes and smiling faces, but they are always the ones that I go back to.  Just a few seconds of checking in with mom for that familiar comfort.  It says so much.

Drew's day off

I got these from my teenager today.  He must have thought it was my birthday because this is such a rarity around here.  He is not a fan of being in front of the camera.  I don't know why, looks like one handsome guy to me. 

Nothing better than a newborn

A boy and his train........

Their Christmas Gift; Baby Avery

Two for Tonya

Maa Maa

I could just eat this one today with his little chapped winter cheeks and curly hair.  He calls himself Maa Maa now for McCoy.
